I have found a religion worth following!

2 posts in one day! My boring 3rd job does have some benefits.

I am just going to post a link to this fantastic article about the broadcasting of baseball and the changing of the times. PLEASE read it. I am really attempting to change my ways and become more intelligent about baseball, and this sports journalist outlines a great way for the rest of his field to help me and the rest of America. Run on sentence- I don't care, I am excited!

I know that as a Nick Punto enthusiast I am going to have a hard time evaluating using VORP, EqA, and OPS+. I have always hidden behind the "batting average and RBI are incredibly misleading and uninformative stats" argument. Well, I guess I'll have to find some stats that back him up, some way, some how.

Sabermetrics is my new belief system.
